According to ExWHUEmployee, a club insider and co-host of The West Ham Way podcast, progress is being made, and the team is keen on signing Kilman, potentially as their new captain.ExWHUEmployee revealed that West Ham and Wolves are currently £10-£15 million apart in their valuation of the player.

Examples include James Ward-Prowse, Scamacca, and Zouma.In addition to Kilman, West Ham is also exploring options in the Championship market, with Hull City players catching their attention. Jacob Greaves, a versatile player, is one of the targets, along with Jaden Philogene, a winger. The club has already begun talks for Philogene and is considering other continental center-backs as well.On the other hand, West Ham’s key players, such as Edson Alvarez, Jarrod Bowen, and Mohammed Kudus, are attracting interest from other clubs. However, ExWHUEmployee assured that none of them have expressed a desire to leave, and the club is likely to retain their services.
